Embedded systems can contain many different types of devices including microcontrollers, microprocessors, DSPs, RAM, EPROMs, FPGAs, A/Ds, and D/As. These various devices must communicate with each ...

Researchers said today they have developed a chip-debugging program that promises to reduce silicon problem resolution from days to hours while saving potentially millions of dollars. The technology, ...

Count Analog Devices, NEC Electronics, Tensilica, and Texas Instruments among the companies that have joined the growing industry effort to address multi-processor debugging of embedded systems – they ...

The fact that computer science is ill-suited in preparing new engineers to enter the workforce opened the door for so-called ‘hacker academies’ to pick up the slack. As I had grown into the role of ...

I *think* this is more of a question about enabling more logging than a coding question. System is Ubuntu 11.04, PHP5, Apache2. I've got a PHP script that sometimes behaves normally via apache - i.e., ...

Debug is problem solving. For many hardware developers, debug is a purpose. Finding a bug is a victory! Heck, debug can be flat out heroic. I’m sure we can all think back to colleagues that put in a ...

The first task is always to determine in which administrative domain the problem is occurring. None of these teams will ever admit that they might be the source of the problem, so test tools are ...

There appears to be an unwritten law about the time spent in debug-it is a constant. It could be that all gains made by improvements in tools and methodologies are offset by increases in complexity, ...
